Following today’s earlier update on rural Select Committee and Business Improvement District I am delighted to be able to correct my comments on what I believed was the still a pending appeal against the successful English Riviera Tourism BID.

The Secretary of State dismissed the appeal on the 19th December and having had several months to prepare during the unnecessary period of delay the new BID company was able to take over responsibility for The English Riviera Tourism Company as the Destination Marketing Organisation with effect from 1 January 2017. After the unfortunate period of delay it is now full steam ahead; congratulations to all concerned. See more at: http://promotetorbay.co.uk/
